Well, your doctor should be at least passingly familiar with your medical records anyway, and should see "born male-bodied", "HRT for X years", "SRS in XXXX", or whatever. After SRS and HRT for years, for most practical purposes that would be a female body, but for medical purposes, it would be either for different things. It's important to be completely clear with your doctor about any conditions. You could say, "born male-bodied, went through SRS" as a fairly brief explanation, I guess. All I'm saying is, your medical history is important to a doctor, not just what presents itself now.

I'm not disagreeing about medical history being important, that is my actual point. Your doctor needs to know the details anyway, which is why an inaccurate term as male-bodied is superfluous.
